The ArtsDecember 2007J. M. W. Turner
The making of a modern artist
by Sam Smiles, Alan Rutter
Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;

February 1982Das Problem der Relevanz
by Alfred Schütz, Richard M. Zaner, Alexander Baeyer, Richard M. Zaner, Thomas Luckmann
»In seinen Bemühungen um eine exakte Analyse der Konstitution von Typisierungen, die der Orientierung und der Praxis in der vergesellschafteten Alltagswelt zugrundeliegen, [drängte sich Alfred Schütz] die Notwendigkeit einer Relevanztheorie auf. Die selektive Aufmerksamkeit des Bewußtseins, die Typisierungen der Welt in der natürlichen Einstellung wie auch die Kategorien ›theoretischer‹ Interpretation, der eigentümliche Rhythmus von Phantasie und praktischem Handeln, das Wirken auf die Außenwelt – all diese Vorgänge führen früher oder später auf Interessenkonstellationen zurück. Aber was ist das ›Interesse‹ bzw. was sind die ›Interessen‹, die sowohl hinter gleichsam automatischen kognitiven Vorgängen, verwickelten Handlungsmotiven und theoretischen Bewußtseinsleistungen stehen? Die vorliegende Studie stellt den ersten – und mit Ausnahme einer auf dieser Studie beruhenden Skizze für die »Strukturen der Lebenswelt« einzigen – Versuch von Schütz dar, diese Fragen systematisch zu behandeln.« (Thomas Luckmann)

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2025A grand strategy of peace
Britain and the creation of the United Nations Organization, 1939-1945
by Andrew Ehrhardt
A grand strategy of peace is the first detailed account of Britain's role in the creation of the United Nations Organization during the Second World War. As a work of traditional diplomatic history that brings in elements of intellectual history, the book describes how British officials, diplomats, politicians, and writers - previously seen to be secondary actors to the United States in this period - thought about, planned for, and helped to establish a future international order. While in the present day, many scholars and analysts have returned to the origins of the post- 1945 international system, this book offers an exhaustive account of how the statesmen and more importantly, the officials working below the statesmen, actually conceived of and worked to establish a post-war world order.
